I remain skeptical, so yeah. I'll believe it when I see it. Not going to get ramped up given the complete ineptitude against Loyola..

I think team will be better than last year’s. More shooters to spread the floor and no waiting around for Ayo to do something.

Payne should give us a quicker athlete to defend guys like Liddell and Krutwig and Baylor’s front line that gave us fits last year.

We might not have a better winning percentage overall but I think the roster is much better prepared for a deep tourney run.

I'm with Fart.

It's pick your poison with the Curbelo to Kofi as the main attraction.

I had a great time yucking it up with Omar and Coleman last week. Great personalities.

Everyone seems to think Plummer is the team's assassin, and he's been hitting 46% plus from the arc. Theoretically the aforementioned Hi-Lo combo will give him better looks than he got at his previous stop. But they also said his step-back is unstoppable.

I said I thought we could be better team without Ayo and got crucified here a few months ago.
As Custard states- this will be a more balanced offensive team with better shooters and an actual point guard who knows how to run a team.

Only questions are:
1) At what point in season does Hulka get them to play hard team defense? It has taken awhile in both of last two seasons, but they were pretty good teams when they did.
2) Can they teach Kofi to throw a basic skip pass from block to opposite side. Or any kind of pass to anyone open for that matter.

If they do both well, we could win six games in March. We sure as hell will win more than one.

I've heard the we'll have better shooters story for years.
Then we play teams that defend, rather than chase, and we've seen what happens.
Show the team film of last year's team playing defense, and not playing defense. See if they notice a difference in our offensive performance.
I'll wait to see what one of the top 10 paid coaches does.

“Excited,” might be a bit strong. Hopeful, interested. Sure.

Ahhhhh, the old “once the All-American is gone, we’ll be a better all-around team” take. A classic.
